MUNCIE, Ind. — Star Press reporter Ryan O'Gara joined Mark Foerster on 102.9-FM Muncie Sports Station on Wednesday to discuss his story on Tayler Persons and Ball State basketball, with a little Ball State football talk at the end.

In case you missed it Tuesday, it's been a transformative summer for Persons. He seems to have made a lifestyle change in slimming down and reaching a new level of focus. He also details why he chose not to transfer to a Power Five school, even though there likely would have been the opportunity had he chosen to do so.
